Columbia University is taking steps to address anti-Semitism on campus, including appointing Title VI and Title VII coordinators to review discrimination allegations, launching new initiatives related to anti-Jewish discrimination, and affirming a zero-tolerance policy against hate. The university plans to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of anti-Semitism for specific disciplinary measures. Acting president Claire Shipman acknowledged the long-standing presence of anti-Semitism at Columbia, emphasizing the need for continued reform and education to effectively combat the issue. Similar initiatives are being observed at Harvard University and other institutions.
Claire Shipman announced that Columbia University would take several steps to quell anti-Semitism, such as appointing coordinators to review allegations and launching new programming on anti-Jewish discrimination.
The university will review allegations of discrimination, launch new programming, and affirm its zero-tolerance policy on hate, using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of anti-Semitism.
Shipman emphasized the long-standing issue of anti-Semitism at Columbia, stating that dismantling it through education will take time and commitment from the university community.
